tan color german shepherd labrador cross breed dog

I painted the picture shortly after my wonderful GSD/Labrador cross dog passed away. I named him Tod because when he was a puppy he looked like a little fox and “Tod” is another name for a fox, I always loved the photo that this painting is taken from because it shows how affectionate Tod was, he loved to cuddle up and in this photograph he’s cuddling a knitted jumper of mine. Sadly Tod was a troubled dog because he’d spent the first 12 weeks of his puppy life in a small cage in a pet shop, I just had to rescue him from the situation. He was one of the most loving and loyal dogs I’ve had, but when he was two years old he become severely epileptic and when he was 8 years old the epilepsy took him from me. This painting makes me smile when I think of all the wonderful memories I have of Tod and I hope you enjoy the image too. I think this original water-color painting of Tod my very special german shephard labrador mix dog makes a great blank art greeting card. I left the inside of the card blank for your own message.
